Beenie Man reinforces his place in Jamaican music in his latest song, “King of Dancehall.”
The 48-year-old veteran deejay spits heavy lyrics on a trap beat, reminding the industry of his kinship title that he will not be relinquishing any time soon. The song, which was released on Sunday (February 20), comes two months after Beenie Man declared himself the one and only King of Dancehall during an interview on Ghana’s Hitz103.9FM.
The song seems to be in response to the question posed by the host about how he has kept his title for “so many years.”
“King of Dancehall” explores Beenie Man’s decades-long journey to the top, a story which Beenie Man says makes him perfect for the position as King.
The song opens with the artiste noting that he has been “doing this (for) so many years, (through) so many tears.” He then goes on to spit lyrics geared towards haters questioning his kinship, listing his credentials that makes him the only reigning King.
